Ovas’ Black Mass Ride; Fletcher Road Diet
Xela the X and Soyla of the Ovas (formerly Ovarian Psycos Bicycle Brigade) tell us about the Black Mass (formerly “Clitoral Mass”) ride on 8/5/17. The Ovas are changing; whereas only women of color were historically invited on their famous rides, now everyone is welcome—except “gentrifiers.” Nathan Lucero, founder of the Transportation Committee of the East Area Progressive Democrats, talks about the road diet on Fletcher that LADOT and Vision Zero are trying to introduce amidst driver bikelash. Xela, Soyla, and Nathan talk about concerns that bike lanes, while creating safer streets, bring gentrification.
